In the year 2314, Earth made contact with alien life. They meant no harm and offered presents of good health and wealth. They called themselves Luphins, and made their home in the self-proclaimed Luphinus System, fourteen light-years away. It was a golden age for the people of Earth and the aliens of Luphania alike; both planets prospered from alternate technologies, food sources, and resources. This happened under the Luphin matriarch Aurenia, and it was thought that it would never end.
In 2398, Aurenia fell ill from human diseases, and when she passed, her son took control of the throne. He was power hungry and didn't care for any lives other than his own; he corrupted the government of Luphania and immediately attacked the Earth. While the war was long and hard, the Earth eventually fell and Luphania's corruption reigned supreme. Most of humanity was enslaved or killed, and only those who could hide from the son's wrath were able to live in freedom.
The year is now 2474, nearing two centuries from First Contact. The Acrin-Zyin forces, whom have been under attack since Earth, have been defeated. The son is weak from old age, and the forces have begun to fight back again. Luphania is a wilted version of itself from the son's greed, and the aliens of the Luphinus System are ready for a new ruler, but refuse to give up the power over the other races.
Will the Luphins succeed in their goals? Will the Acrin-Zyin forces regain freedom? Will Humanity rise from its ashes? The choice is yours; all you have to do is move against the current.
